Really fun game! I like the art and the movement feels good as well. I do think the UI design could match the mood and palette of Stay Up a little better though. Good job!

Developer

thanks! I agree, the menu was sadly pushed to the last minute and suffered as a result. Thanks for the comment!

The concept is unique, and it works well. The platforming physics are very good for a first game, but you made one small mistake: you didn't give the player a terminal velocity. So if I start falling from the top of the screen, by the time I reach the middle I'm already falling too fast to react to anything. This ended up killing me a few times. With a couple of balancing tweaks to things like the weights spawning speed and the platform sizes and speeds, this could have a really tight gameplay loop.

Developer

Thanks for the very detailed response! I agree with all of these suggestions, and added them to my list of things to do better next time. Thank you for checking out the game!

Thanks! Do you think the game would play better if the weights gave more of a warning when they were gunna show up?

That might be a good idea if it warned you when they would spawn, but not where.

Pretty flawless nostalgic platform jumper if you ask me! Simple and fun as hell, I keep trying to beat my previous record lol
